Readers cannot compensate for the font width, as happens with paper. The spaces have to be changed in width and this inhibits the flow of reading.
And for left-aligned paragraphs, first line indentation makes no sense.
However, paragraph spacing!
Exactly this. If you use a larger font size, fully justified text leads to large spaces between words, and makes it very hard to read (at least for me).

I don't go so far as to edit every book I read to be left aligned, because I just don't have time for that. It *is* my preferred way of reading, though.
